Focusing On This Season

Good Morning,

I would like to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas. This year I have been trying to focus even more on the real meaning of Christmas and thinking of how it all started in a manger and continues on today with a Living Savior. What a tremendous opportunity we each have as Christians to use the Christmas Story as an open door to extend Christ to the community around each of us. This last Sunday morning, I was priviledged to enjoy the presence of God in a rejoicing way. After the special song "Mary did you know" the presence of God swept down on the church and we had a wave offering to Jesus. I rejoice that the Babe in the Manger, is the one that Lives and Reins. From the Manger to the Cross...Let us rejoice in the Christ of Christmas.
